Anti-virus update question

I received this response in another sophos forum here "Normally AutoUpdate is configured during install (not sure if you can skip it). Please use sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savsetup to display the current configuration when prompted."

When I typed sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savsetup  the response I receive is " sudo: /opt/sophos-av/bin/update: command not found "

I am trying to find out if the anti-virus is updating on Sophos.

When I check if Sophos is running I receive this response "Sophos Anti-Virus is active and on-access scanning is running"

  • Hello Dawn Julie,

    I receive "sudo: /opt/sophos-av/bin/update: command not found "
    this (instead of the What do you want to do? prompt) is indeed what you get immediately after entering the command? Can't imagine where this should come from.

    sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savlog --category=update.updated shows successful updates, update.failed the failed ones.
